Dorchester War Memorial

Dedicated on July 1st 1925, this memorial was erected by the village of Dorchester to honour the local war dead of the First World War. Inscriptions to honour the local losses of the Second World War and the Korean War were added later. Mounted on the shaft is the figure of a soldier, standing at ease with a rifle in his hands. At some point in time the bayonet off the end of the sculpted rifle went missing and hasn't been seen since. The monument rests on a concrete base 7 1/2 feet square with a second concrete base 5 1/2 feet square and a granite base 4 1/2 feet square and 4 1/2 feet high.
